There was a shooting over this past weekend in Buffalo at a popular Restaurant / Night Club formerly best known as The Groove Lounge, re-named Club 1210.  The shooting involved an Off-Duty Police Officer being shot, ultimately causing City Officials to close The Groove Lounge / Club 1210's doors.

A Rally will be held this morning at 11AM at The Groove Lounge / Club 1210, located at 1210 Broadway.  I had the opportunity to interview the Owner of the venue, Michael Ray.
